1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

We previously reported the development of a prototype 'oncolytic Sendai virus (SeV) vector' formed by introducing two major genomic modifications to the original SeV, namely deletion of the matrix (M) gene to avoid budding of secondary viral particles and manipulation of the trypsin-dependent cleavage site of the fusion (F) gene to generate protease-specific sequences. As a result, the 'oncolytic SeV' that was susceptible to matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) was shown to selectively kill MMP-expressing tumors through syncytium formation in vitro and in vivo. However, its efficacy has been relatively limited because of the requirement of higher expression of MMPs and smaller populations of MMP-expressing tumors. To overcome these limitations, we have designed an optimized and dramatically powerful oncolytic SeV vector. Truncation of 14-amino acid residues of the cytoplasmic domain of F protein resulted in dramatic enhancement of cell-killing activities of oncolytic SeV, and the combination with replacement of the trypsin cleavage site with the new urokinase type plasminogen activator (uPA)-sensitive sequence (SGRS) led a variety of human tumors, including prostate (PC-3), renal (CAKI-I), pancreatic (BxPC3) and lung (PC14) cancers, to extensive death through massive cell-to-cell spreading without significant dissemination to the surrounding noncancerous tissue in vivo. These results indicate a dramatic improvement of antitumor activity; therefore, extensive utility of the newly designed uPA-targeted oncolytic SeV has significant potential for treating patients bearing urokinase-expressing cancers in clinical settings.
